RNA-Seq of Chaenomeles japonica
Total RNA was extracted from fresh leaves, floral buds, fruits, or silica-dried leaves using the RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturers protocol, then sent to Novogene Bioinformatics Technology Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China) using either poly-A enrichment of ribosomal RNA depletion for library preparation and subsequently sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq2500 platform for paired-end reads of 150 bp.
